Key Takeaways:

A new app called E-Z WINGS has been introduced to streamline the process of issuing credit for the FAA WINGS Pilot Proficiency Program.
The app allows flight instructors and examiners to quickly validate pilot flight activities, such as flight reviews and check rides, directly from a smartphone or tablet.
E-Z WINGS replaces the previously cumbersome FAASTeam website, making it much easier for CFIs and DPEs to log pilot accomplishments.
This simplified process aims to encourage greater pilot and instructor participation in the WINGS program, thereby promoting aviation safety and ongoing pilot proficiency.

Nobody likes to spend hours on a website—even when it’s in the name of improving aviation safety. If you’ve ever navigated the FAA’s SafetyTeam (FAASTeam) website, you know what I mean.

Now, there’s an easier way to navigate the system using an app called E-Z WINGS. The Wings Industry Network, a group created to promote aviation safety, introduced the app to the flight instructor community during EAA AirVenture last week in Oshkosh, Wisconsin.
